How Do I Know If I Am Called Of God?

Mission Statement and Philosophy
of Educational Training


Dreams are always given by God.                     A dream is a thought from God.                    The power is contained in the dream.                     A dream is not a burden.                     Burden is something carried or oppressive.                     Dreams come to the imagination part of your brain.                     A dream is a vision of your life in the future given in present tense.                     A dream is a trance-like start of future events in the present.                     Dreams are hoping for a desired accomplishment in the future but felt now.                     Dreams never die.                     Someone said, "Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly you're doing the impossible"                     Dreams require us to give our best.                     Laine Parsons said, "...When you reach for your dreams no matter what they may be, you grow from the reaching, you learn from the trying, you win from the doing."                     This life is your gift from God to be somebody.                     Bring your treasures to the world and give it life. Allow God to bless you by bringing it to the light.                     Be true to yourself by following your dreams.                     The conflicts encountered from following your dreams are small compared to the consequences of not following your vision.                     Challenge yourself by saying, "I am..., I will be...", then be."                     Free yourself from what others want you to be by following your dream.                     Breaking free and following your dream means by-passing the judgments and prejudices of others.                     Believe in yourself. God does. (Rom. 8:31)                     Your dream is your potential that should never be discouraged.                     Turn on the light within you. I can see it burning brightly.                     No one can tell you how to live your life but your God. Stop listening to negative voices.                     Dream - Grow - Change - Become - Live                     Debbie Arrey states, "Don't waste precious time worrying about what you should have done... But rather, focus your attention on what you are doing now, and what you want to do in the future. Don't concentrate on any mistake that might have been made, but learn from them.                     Shattered dreams only mean you've not finished. God will heal your broken heart. (Psalm 147:3)                     Theopile Gautier said, "I wish for you to be happy, and to reach for the best... for what is happiness, if not to believe in and follow one's dream?"                     "Fear of failure" only means your eyes are off your dreams. Turn around and refocus. You cannot fail when you follow your dreams because it is then you are most like God.                     Past mistakes only mean your ideas were not realized. Future worries mean you cannot go there. Therefore, live in the present and you will accomplish your dreams.                     By not following your dream, you are forced to accept things that you know could be better.                     Obstacles to fulfilling your dreams are only challenges with road bumps.                     Learn the lesson and take on the challenge and your dream will be sweeter.                     Dreams are our opportunities to discover ourselves, our potential and our destinies.                     Strength comes from determination. Determination comes from a willingness to follow your vision.                     The first step in following your dream is to act the part your dream says.                     Living below your potential means saying no to your dream.                     Waiting on the dream to unfold is part of following your dream.                     Take a daily inventory of your life and begin to remove the road blocks to your dream.                     Actions empower us with wisdom and more action.                     Listen to your heart and take directions from inside you.                     Each and every effort you take tells you that you are being serious.                     The three main ingredients to following your dreams are love, courage and confidence.                     Fear only means your eyes are off your dreams.                     If you are stuck, try something different. Your dream is still alive.                     Dreams are born out of desire and fueled by preparation and action.                     Dreamers are winners who never stop trying. Dreamers never stay down. They get up and try differently.                     Listen to the voice that says, "You can." It is in your heart crying out now.                     It's not always what we do but what we don't do. Don't give in or give up because you are a dreamer. Remember, dreamers are winners.                     God has given you a great gift. This gift is the reason for your existence. It is your dream.                     To follow your dream is to believe in God.                     To follow your dream is to believe in yourself.          The cost of fulfilling your dream is giving all that you are in exchange for all that you can be.
